Abstract:
Telemedicine is defined as the practice of medicine from a distance, without the doctor's physical presence. Teleoncology consist of telediagnosis, teleconsultation, telepathology, telesurgery, distant help in computer-aided radiotherapy planning and telefollow-up. In this paper, we present the wide range of possibilities in providing cancer care at a distance. The theoretical and practical aspects of teleoncology and its current as well as future role in a multidisciplinary approach to cancer patients are discussed.

However, cancer treatments can pose several challenges, as therapies used to kill cancer cells are generally also toxic to normal cells. Moreover, cancer cells mutate rapidly and can develop resistance to chemical agents or radiation therapy. Besides, all types of cancer cells may not respond to the same therapy. Some cancer cells respond to one...
